It has a wonderful habit of grounding your robots frame, so much care must be taken to ensure no part of it touches any conductive matieral.

The grounding problem is because most of the light's frame is it's self ground (much like car frames). You'd have to take one apart to really understand how it works. It's really rather simple, but confusing at first. I've played with one, but can't remember any details, other then the bulb gets very very hot very quickly.
